There’s a lot of talk about a dark winter fast approaching. Who knows what the next few months will provide let alone the next few years. Basic preparedness continues to just make sense having plenty of beans, bullets, and band-aids on hand.
The term Dark Winter is being used by different people to have different meanings. Some are referring to a large increase in COVID cases and corresponding lockdowns. Others are referring to further supply chain issues, shortages, and economic issues including rising fuel and food prices.
The term “Dark Winter” was used in an exercise portraying a “fictional scenario depicting a covert smallpox attack on U.S. citizens. The scenario is set in 3 successive National Security Council (NSC) meetings which take place over 2 weeks. Former senior government officials played the roles of NSC members; media representatives were among the observers and played journalists during the mock press conferences. The exercise was held at Andrews Air Force Base, Washington, DC.” See this Youtube video for more information. Interesting.

Going to make a few changes over in the Patriot Brigade Member area. I’ll start with transferring “Our American Exit Strategy” entries into the new Blog. I’ll backdate each post so everything is in order. Main reason behind this is to make it so that members can comment if they would like.
As always thank you for the support.

I wrote a few months ago that I was working towards disconnecting my relationship with Amazon as they have made some policies that I simply find, well, less than ideal. That is easier said than done. One of the main issues revolves around finding alternative sources and methods to replace what income I have received from Amazon with other sources. As an affiliate, I get a couple percent of all sales that people make who follow my links to Amazon at no additional cost to them. While I thoroughly enjoy connecting with like-minded folks, I use this as a secondary stream of income as well. Website hosting, domain registration, servers, etc. are not free. Since opening my own store here on 1776 I’ve expanded the product selection and continue to do so on a regular basis as well.
I continue to expand my relationships with other companies to reduce dependency on Amazon. We the People holsters is just the latest. They make some awesome holsters and I’ll be reviewing some in the very near future.

There are many reports of “far-right, anti-government” groups being created and growing in popularity across the country. While I completely understand why and largely agree with the beliefs many of these groups have – there are risks in associating with any of them. Hasn’t it long been a major obstacle for survivalists and preppers to connect, network, and form mutual assistance groups? It has and I’ve seen it personally as many are so suspicious of others that they end up remaining a lone wolf rather than becoming part of a “survival family” and taking advantage of the many benefits to group inclusion.
Take care all
